• As Founder and CTO of BigCircle, I have spent six years building one of India's most execution-driven AI and product development studios. I started BigCircle with a simple mission: prove that a compact, highly skilled team in India can deliver world-class software and AI systems that compete globally.
• I built the company from the ground up by hiring engineers who thrive on ownership, speed, and precision. We prioritize engineering depth, hard problem-solving, and an iterative mindset over headcount or buzzwords. This culture has helped us ship complex, production-grade systems across industries including legal tech, finance, insurance, education, sustainability, and enterprise AI tooling.
• My work spans hands-on architecture design, product strategy, and engineering leadership. I collaborate with product and research teams to build intelligent systems that combine LLMs, agents, retrieval, cloud infrastructure, and real-time decision pipelines. I stay involved in early architecture and system design to ensure clarity, scalability, and delivery accuracy.
• We have built and deployed AI-native solutions such as autonomous voice agents for insurance, legal document intelligence pipelines, sustainability data platforms, enterprise-grade RAG systems, and real-time analytics automation tools. Our studio also partners with founders and growth-stage companies to build MVPs, scale systems, and act as fractional CTOs.
• We operate as a high-trust, high-speed engineering partner that blends technical execution with strong product thinking. Our focus remains simple: build AI systems that work in the real world, solve meaningful problems, and consistently outperform expectations.
